Jon Fox said "the programs, as the gentleman from Virginia pointed out eloquently, are all worthy. As a former assistant district attorney in Pennsylvania, I can tell you a national data base is certainly a program worthy of being explored and worthy of being adopted, but at the right time. What we have before the House right now is a bill, H.R. 5, which will provide the cost analysis of what it is going to be for imposing a mandate that we have put on State and local governments. And H.R. 5 is why we are here in the House today. Those are all worthy programs, as the gentleman from Virginia discussed. But before we vote them up or down, we need H.R. 5 passed, to make sure this House does not pass on to States and local government any bill, any cost, without knowing what it is going to cost ahead of time, and this House approving it." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
